Apple picking

Sunday, 30 June 2013

Another
Sunday where LeLack lets you pick you own design for Nail art Sunday. I decided
to pick some apples!

This design
is hugely inspired by TopCoatIt who did this last fall calling it caramel
apples. I can see how the colour scheme is rather fall/winter-like but maybe we
can pretend that the gold is sunshine reflecting of a shiny apple :).

This is one
coat of OPI Samoan Sand over which I've free-handed the apple shapes using OPI Danke-Shiny
Red and Mavala Peacock Green. Then I've followed it up with Catrice Oh My
Goldness! and a quick stroke with a golden Stripe Rite pen.

I love how the Catrice shade glows! It was a little too sheer for this kind of nail art that requires a few coats on top of each other so unfortunately this never dried :(. A few hours after completing this manicure I was at the gym and had a little accident, the polish just peeled off in a sticky mess. I will definitely be revisiting this design again but will be careful not to use too thick coats.
